[Publicus]

Come on Arashiro

 

[zapata]

Splendid! That's something i like to see!

 

[Francois the Postman]

Hah, excellent.

 

[*G*K*S*]

Well done boys!!

 

[therhodeo]

Very nice finish. I didn't think they had that last kick in them.

 

[Jukebox]

Pineau!

Looked like Farrar took the field sprint.

 

[Eyjafjallajokull]

The last corner seemed to break up the pace of the pack.

 

[krebs303]

Yeeeeeeehaaaaa that was great.

 

[LukeSchmid]

Well done to Pineau and the break on staying away. Excellent work.

 

[Mellow Velo]

Great. Remember the last time we saw a finish like that?
Tirreno-Adriatico.
WTF were they doing?

Well done to the 3 and a super win for Pineau.

now thats funny

Five stages done and two victories for Quick-Step! Who expected that? Awesome

 

[theswordsman]

WooHoo for the first of many breaks to stay away this Giro

 

[trompe le monde]

Pineau wins! Too bad Arashiro didn't win, probably had nothing left in the tank.

I'm surprised that Quick Step are doing well so far - two stage wins.

 

[therhodeo]

Well done to Pineau and the break on staying away. Excellent work.

That was a nice break to watch since they all actually took their pulls.

 

[simmspin]

epic finish!!

 

[Moondance]

I honestly don't know how the peleton fucked that up

Horum omnium fortissimi sunt Belgae


(yes, I know Pineau is French)

 

[Jamsque]

I was in a never-ending meeting and missed the whole damn thing, it sounds like it was exciting. I'm not quite sure how the peloton managed to fail to make the catch with the gap being what it was.

I honestly don't know how the peleton fucked that up

me neither, but I'm really glad it happens once in a while! makes normally dull stages really exciting.

 

[Von Mises]

Great to see breakaway win. Tough, a bit sad about Arashiro, he made most of the work during last 1.5 km´s. Withouth him pushing, peloton would have caught them.

 

[ImmaculateKadence]

Would have preferred to see Farrar win a group sprint, but that was an exciting finish.

Now we get to see the blame game between the sprinter's teams.

 

[Ferminal]

What a bunch of amateurs!

Congratulations to the successful trio, unfortunately only one gets the prize
